Adobe Air Linux won't install on Eee PC

Hi - I've been getting some advice on this from @smmehadi on
Twitter but it's hard 140 chars at a time...
I'm trying to install Air on my Eee PC 701, which runs
Xandros Linux. I know this isn't a supported distro but I know some
others have got it to work.
When I run the installer, running as root, I get the licence
panel and then click "I Agree". I then see the "Adobe AIR Setup"
panel and the progress indicator goes abot 3/4 of the way along
before it stops and displays the message: "Sorry, an error has
occurred" "An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR.
Installation maynot be allowed by your administrator. Please
contact your administrator"
As advised, I've done a chmod +x on the installer. I've tried
to capture the .airinstaller.log file but it doesn't exist. If I
created it, nothing is added to it by the installation.
I do have a bunch of files in /tmp/airCrashLogs - are they of
interest to you? I've also noticed some messages appearing in
~/.xsession-errors.
Many thanks,
Alan

Hi Alan,
First of all as your AIR installer is crashing, so please
check if you have sufficient free memory available (more then
around 200 MB to be on safer side).
The please repeat these steps on terminal:
1. touch ~/.airinstall.log
2. chmod +x Desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
3. Desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
this will popup the GUI for installation, proceed to the
point it goes
when installer has failed or crashed open the log file in any
editor
4. vim ~/.airinstall.log
or
gedit ~/.airinstall.log or kate ~/.airinstall.log
and copy the contents of log (~/.airinstall.log) and send
them to syed-attherateof-adobe-dotcom

Adobe AIR Application won't install

Also, tried reinistalling latest version of Adobe AIR but a message appears saying that the latest version of Adobe AIR is already installed, even though I thought I had unistalled it with the help of Microsoft Fix it (i.e. it no longer appeared in the least of programs installed on the computer).
I am using a Samsung laptop with Windows 7.
Following my latest attempt to install the application, I located the Adobe AIR log:

Please note that I managed to resolve this myself by first of all deleting the Adobe AIR folder contained within C\Program Files (x86)\Common Files of my hard drive and then re-attempting the Adobe Air application installation. This immediately caused a prompting of an update to Adobe AIR, which I ran. It seems that the Adobe AIR application installation package contained an older version of Adobe AIR than was already installed within the 'Common Files' folder, and this apparently led to the error (sorry, I cannot explain it any more technical terms than that!).

Need configure wifi, but adobe air cd won't install, why?

Am trying to configure wifi after installing new motorola wireless modem sbg901 and am trying to run the cd wifi instrux.
It asks to install Adobe Air, but it won't install. Why can't I install Adobe Air?

Thanks for that link. Got it downloaded.
It appears that something is wrong with my laptop... because the downloaded file stalls at the same point as the disc. While it still says "Installing Shared components". This is when the green progress bars stop(about 10% of the way) and the HDD activiity light on the laptop stops as well.
Back when I reinstalled windows, I had some issues updating. Once I got to a certain point, one of the updates would render my laptop screen completely blank.... so after reinstalling a few times, I stopped installing updates at a certain point... though I did make it to Service Pack 2.
That's the only reason I can think of, as to why the program won't install. It's really odd.
BTW: I did shut down the antivirus while attemptinng Premiere install.

Can not install CS6 Extended. Receive error that I need Adobe Air it won't install

I can not install I am running Windows 7, Service Pack 1. Installer starts but sits for hours not doing anything.
I have uninstalled Adobe Air, reboot the computer and tried to install again with same error.
Any suggestions? I was on hold for 2+ hrs with support tonight and they never answered my call!

Thank you for your response. I finally set my computer to a previous date and updated. I had recently installed several updates to Microsoft and Adobe Flash.
All is working so far....thank you!

In the past I had problems with a virus and I removed some voices on regedit. I think I've combined some mistake.

Hi,
I'm sorry you're having problems installing/uninstalling air. Have you tried rebooting to see if that resolves the issue?
If it still fails, can you enable MSI logging using the instructions found on the following page and then post the msi log contents for review?

AIR App won't install if different certificate is used

Hello!
I've taken over a project that was previously developed by another company.
Now I'm using my own certificate to codesign the air application. The problem is now, that the air installer won't allow to install the application if the old application (codesigned with the certificate of the previous developer) is installed on the system. It doesn't even say that there's a codesign problem it just drops the error (translated from german:)
Unfortunately an error happened.
This application cannot be installed because of a wrong installer configuration. Contact the application author
(german Original: Leider ist ein Fehler Aufgetreten. Diese Anwendung kann aufgrund eines falsch konfigurierten Installationsprogramms nicht installiert werden. Wenden Sie sich an den Anwendungsautor.)
if i check the system.log, i can see:
Installer[1190]: The certificate of the installed app fails to match either the signature or migration signature of the AIR file
if I uninstall the old version of the app first, then the installer will install the application without problems.
However - this application will be distributed to many clients. It will be quite confusing for them If they just see the error (cannot be installed because of a wrong installer configuration. Contact the application author.)
What's the reason for this error message and is there a way arround it?

Hi, you need to apply a migration signature. For more information, please refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ff0. html#WSFAB6E5EB-316A-42b0-81A3-0BC232ACD99A

Adobe acrobat 8 won't install with Indesign and Dreamweaver CS4

I have a client who I had to build a new computer for which is Windows XP Pro. On her original machine I had AA8, InDesign CS4, DreamWeaver CS4, Contribute CS5, Adobe Reader 9.3 and Adobe Photoshop 6. I have tried puting AA8 on the new machine that has all of the above on it and I get a response that I have a newer version of AA and it won't install. I don't have any AA on this machine so I'm not sure what to do. She says she can't edit PDFs or combine them and that she can't create a PDF ind Word and Xcel and edit them. Should I tell her to upgrade to AA9 so that it is compatible to the CS4/5 products?
Thanks,
Lgarn

Thank you Bill for replying.
I have been able to install the disc but it tells me that I have to activate it with a time limit of 30 days and counting. Activation fails each time I've tried. As I'm nearing the end of the time limit I decided to contact Adobe for advice. They gave me a download package and new serial number but it's only suitable for OS XP and Windows 2000 so I'm unable to download it. I was told by the advisor if I still had problems to use the forum as a means of support so that's why I'm talking to people here.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro 7, so I might try reinstalling the disc to see if it gives me another 30 days grace, that, at least, would be a way around it.
I'll now follow the link you've given me. Though I do suspect I'm in a bit of a cul de sac.

Adobe air apps cannot be installed

Hi,
I have trouble with my PC to install any kind of adobe air app. When I start to install a Adobe air app, I get the UAC request and I confirm it but then the Adobe Air Application Installer.exe *32 is hanging and doing nothing.
When I repeat the process another Adobe Air Application Installer.exe *32 instance is started.
Here is my equipment and what I tried:
Equipment:
Windows 7 professional SP1 64 -Bit
- Reinstalling Adobe air with Revo Uninstaller(cleaning registry) and installing it new with Admin rights.
- Installing Adobe air in Windows XP Sp3 mode
- Multiple apps were tried and when I start them with the SDK, they are working fine.
- No information are available in the windows eventlogs
Any idea how to solve it or any possibility to start a debug tool to get more information?
Thank you in advance for any input and help!
Cheers,
Dominik

Adobe Exchange download won't install in Extension Manager CC - no valid certificate.

I've been struggling to load the Adobe Exchange download into Extension Manager CC. It won't install due to it having 'No valid certificate'. Is there a fix for this?

Please click "Tools"->"Preferences" menu item in Extension Manager, uncheck "Allow Extension Manager to access Internet" option, then retry.

Adobe Air message by silent installing

Hi all,
i hope anybody can help me here.
I have create a silnet package of cs4. The silent installation is running well only this message apears a view times during the installation and i have allways to klick to "ok"
Adobe AIR
This application requires Adobe AIR to function.
Please download the latest version of the runtime from http://www........ and so on
I just want to diabled all messages

For starters, there are a ton of variants of CS4. Be sure to specify which specific one you're trying to install. I can say that I've never seen that message when doing a CS4 silent install of the Design Standard or Premium for Mac.
For seconders, this is probably a better forum to address silent install issues in:

Choose your platform from there (looks like Mac?)
Best of luck,
